My First WWDC
Every year I say I am going to WWDC and every year it passes and I say “Next year for sure.”. This year I decided it was time to put up or shut up. I did my best: I was ready at 10, logged in and started the process. I got to the checkout process after a few restarts and a couple of browsers and after I entered all my info and clicked place order, server error.
As many have reported, I got my call from Apple (although I thought it was a joke from my friends since they were sitting there when I got denied). I booked my hotel and flight and ready to go.
I am using Jeff Lamarche’s First Time Guide.
- Arriving Early Sunday - check
- Staying within Walking Distance - check
- For the few people I know, planned meetings - check
- Geek gear bought - check
- Excited - check
I do feel bad for all the people who will not get to go. I was hoping to meet some of the cool kids while I was there yet some of them that will not be there. I plan on saying hi to as many as a can without “Being Creepy”.

Class SUUpdater is implemented in both MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparke and MyAppPlugin. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
